Instructions
-
For the Dough, whisk together non-dairy milk and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in a large bowl. The mixture should be just warm to the touch but not too hot, as that may kill the yeast. Sprinkle the yeast evenly over that mixture; stir, and let it sit in a warm place for 10 minutes.
-
Once the yeast has activated, add the remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar along with the melted vegan butter, pumpkin puree, vanilla, salt, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice; mix until uniform.
-
Add the flour and mix everything until a dough forms. Flour a clean work surface and knead the dough for at least 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary until it is no longer sticky and springs back when poked.
-
Place the dough into a large, lightly oiled bowl, tossing it to ensure that the outside is coated. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm place to rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
-
Line a quarter sheet pan (9-x12-inches) with parchment paper or grease an equivalent-sized baking dish and set aside.
-
For the Filling, mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
-
Once the dough has risen, turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and roll into a large rectangle about 12 x 14 inches and 1/2-inch thick. Using a spatula, evenly spread the filling over the dough, then sprinkle on the pecans.
-
Slice the dough into 6 even long strips, then roll each into a cinnamon roll. Arrange the rolls evenly in the prepared baking dish, cover with a clean towel, and place them in a warm area to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat oven to 350˚F. Once the rolls have risen, bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, for the Icing, combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until blended. (We like to use an immersion blender to get it extra smooth.) Generously top Cinnamon Rolls with the frosting. Sprinkle with additional chopped pecans if desired and enjoy!
